On behalf of The Hayes Family, I would like to officially announce the passing of our brother Lionell Maurice Hayes, affectionately known as "Yella".

Lionell was our enforcer, our mechanic, our skilled carpenter, our comedian, our PDX Dj, our club promoter, our loving father, brother, cousin, friend and son to name some.

None of us can choose our life and what life and what life has to throw at us, but Lionell dealt with life the best way he could.

Lionell leaves behind a beautiful legacy of children & grand-children. At this time we are asking for support from the community that Lionell was born and raised in to cover logistical expenditures related to his funeral service.

Any amount is appreciated and will not go unnoticed. Thank you Portland for your unwavering support during these trying times.

Fly High Lionell. A.K.A Yella
